Overview

Re-examining nineteenth-century Easts contributes novel approaches to gendered and gendering fictions and travel writing in and of the cultural-geographical-ideological contexts surrounding nineteenth-century Easts. It examines underexplored stories of travel and narratives of encounter to reconsider the western allure of travelling to the Easts from the Balkans to the Middle and Far East, through a range of diverse critical approaches. It discusses writers travellers, novelists, and short-story writers who authored texts based on their varied experiences in eastern lands. It also analyses how views of eastern places became a rich source of material for identity formations related to Empire but also discussions about masculinity and femininity at 'home'.
